I bet you can change it to accumulate that way. Oldest-at-top is, I
think, a much more usual method than the way yours works.
Speaking of old mail, I remembered while driving to Alabama the other
day that I had not replied to a list posting I had read hurriedly and
meant to reply to later -- the one from Rudy expressing fear that his
"pen" and "pin" were beginning to separate. I also have noticed lately
a strange vowel sound creeping into my pronunciation of words like "pen"
and "ten." I don't know what's causing it but do find it distressing.
God intended "pen" and "pin" to be homophonous.
On still another topic, do any of you know the latest price and ordering
info for LAGS? I'm about to fight one more time for our library to order
it. Since I've let a couple of years go by since my last attempt, I've
forgotten the ordering info.
